Trips in these areas are carried out by the state transport company, among others, its buses carry tourists to Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui and Trang province. Trips to directions from the Mo Chit terminal are not mainstream, buses run infrequently, much less frequently than buses from, and ticket prices in the Mo Chit terminal for these directions are noticeably higher.

Another direction that buses run from the Mo Chit terminal is the city of Trat, waypoint when traveling to Koh Chang. As in the case of Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi, the northern bus terminal is not the best place for departure on this route, and for a trip to Koh Chang, buses are recommended that fly from.

If you often travel by bus (and this is the most convenient, cheap and quick view transport), then sooner or later you will find yourself at one of the bus stations. Today I will tell you about the Bangkok North Bus Station - Mo Chit.

The bus station is called Northern, because it serves the Northern direction - Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Ayutthaya, (Pakse,), (, Phnom Penh) and other less popular and well-known tourist destinations in Northern Thailand.

Also from the Mo Chit bus station you can go to the most popular tourist resorts, despite the fact that they are not in the north. For example, you can go to, Phuket, to Pattaya,.

2. Where is it located and how to get there

The northern bus station has several names − Northern Bus Terminal, Mor Chit Bus Terminal, Bus Terminal Chatuchak(because of the proximity to the market of the same name - Chatuchak).

Mo Chit North Bus Terminal located here:

Get to Mo Chit bus station can be done as follows:

1. To the underground metro station MRT - Chatuchak, then walk 15-20 minutes through or take a taxi 5 minutes.
2. To the underground metro station BTS Skytrain - Mor Chit, then again on foot or by taxi.
3. By city bus routes 3, 5, 28, 49, 77, 96, 104, 122, 134, 136, 138, 145, 157, 159, 170, 182, 188, 512, 529, 536, 547.
4. By taxi - just tell the taxi driver - Mo Chit Bus Terminal, be sure to specify that he will take you to the meter, usually it is much cheaper than the fixed price.

3. How to navigate the bus station

Ticket offices at the bus station are located on the 1st and 3rd floors, on the 2nd and 4th - office space. There are a lot of cash desks, each direction has its own cash desk, and cash desks of various companies are also located separately.

As soon as you arrive at the station, they will definitely ask you where you need to go and show you where the ticket office you need is located.

On the ground floor, cash desks are located both in the building itself and outside:

Information signs are duplicated in English:

Ticket offices on the 1st floor (due to the fact that there are separate ticket offices for all directions, there are almost no queues, although there are decently people at the station):

There is a waiting room in front of the ticket office, the seats are hard everywhere, so it will be hard to wait there for a long time:

4. Where to leave things (luggage office)

At the Northern Bus Station, you can leave your luggage in the luggage room. This is very convenient if, for example, you arrived in the morning for tickets, and in the evening you need to leave the same bus station, you don’t have to carry things with you all day.

Luggage storage can be found following the signs Left Baggage:

We left on the 3rd floor (in the same place as the ticket office to Laos), but in general there are left-luggage offices on other floors.

Luggage storage is located in the corner next to the food court, you will see by the inscription Luggage Deposit Service:

Prices for storage of things (nothing, of course, is unclear, but the amount for one piece of luggage does not exceed 50 baht):

Pay, hand over your bags, get this receipt (we had a backpack and a small bag):

I do not recommend leaving valuables there, because. Not only are there no lockers, but there is usually no space in the security room, so some bags are simply left on the floor next to the pay counter. That is, there is not much security there.

There are also toilets nearby for 3 baht, hygiene items are sold separately (for example, there is no paper in the toilets):

5. Where to eat

As elsewhere in Thailand, the bus station is full of places where you can eat - from shops 7-11, ending with small chain cafes and food courts.

Each floor has its own food court (they are marked as Food Center on the signs), there are usually plenty of places, you can wait there for your flight, and at the same time have a bite to eat. True, all the names of the dishes are in Thai, but you can always just show what exactly you want.

One of these food courts:

6. Where to buy tickets to Laos

First of all, we were at the Northern Bus Station in order to leave from there to Laos, so I’ll tell you more about this.

Tickets to Laos can also be bought in advance online on the website, but this was not yet possible during our trip.

You can see the options here:

Tickets to Laos are sold only at one box office on the 3rd floor.

Climb up the stairs to the 3rd floor, then from the store 7-11 you need to go to the right:

Here they sell tickets not only to Laos, but also to other destinations, look for 99 ticket offices:

And here you can already buy a ticket to Laos (Vientiane):

There is a photo with bus options, but it makes no sense, because. buses to Laos run standard - VIP, 32 seats (i.e. 3 seats in a row):

The best means of transportation in Thailand is intercity buses. They are comfortable, they drive quite fast on the excellent roads of the kingdom, and therefore you get there faster in time than by train (pro). The low fare is also pleasant - from 0.7 to 1.5 baht per kilometer, depending on the class. Plus, in buses, water and cookies are often included in the price)).

Bangkok is naturally the center of bus transportation in the country, from where you can leave in absolutely any direction, and has several bus stations.

Bangkok bus stations are located in different parts of the city, but I hope after reading this article it became clearer to you where they are, how to navigate and get to them, and also in what directions you can leave.

So, from Chiang Mai I had to get to the airport in Bangkok. I traveled around Thailand exclusively by buses and this time I did not make any exceptions. Overnight in a comfortable double-decker bus with meals and films with English subtitles.

And here I am. Mo Chit Bus Terminal. This station is huge. Serves the entire north and northeast of Tai (Chiengmai, Chiengrai, Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Korat, Lopburi, etc.). So there are a lot of buses. Further, according to the plan, get to the subway station Mo Chit, and then to end point- BKK Suvarnabumi Airport. As I said, from the bus terminal to the airport, I planned to take the underground metro (I had never traveled on it before).

As soon as I jumped off the footboard of the bus, taxi drivers began to besiege me, offering to take me to the ends of the world. I say I need to get to the subway. Okay, sit down, we'll take you for 60 baht.
No, I'm on foot, how do I get there?
– You won't get there – the taxi drivers shook their heads sympathetically, looking askance at the baobab in the bag and the backpack behind my shoulders, which was slightly smaller than myself ...

The same backpack.

That baobab!

I saw the information desk. I go to ask how I can get to the station.
- Take a taxi or tuk-tuk, it costs 40 baht. You won't make it to the subway on your own, - and these were confused by the contrast between my size and my backpack. - It's 2 km from here!

Gee, 2 km and I won’t get there ?! Yes, my beloved Thais, you are not familiar with Russian girls who wear such backpacks and baobab trees. Somehow I knocked out the direction from the taxi drivers to the BTS Mo Chit station. I interviewed about 10 people, probably (the partisans are still the same).

So, I am sharing information on how to go as far as 2 km in 15 minutes. ROUTE MAP BELOW.

On bus terminal Mo Chit get off at the taxi and tuk-tuk stop. And to the left. Go along the road straight to the first intersection. You can wave to sympathetic tuk-tuk drivers. Turn right at the crossroads. In the distance you will see the building of the JJ MOLL shopping center. The building can be seen from afar, go straight for it.

Reach the first overhead crossing, cross it to the other side of the highway. Go straight to the first fork in the road and turn left.

From here to the left.

Keep to the right side of the road. Your path lies straight along picturesque rows with live aquarium fish that swim in bags. The spectacle is amazing: various types of fish, there are thousands of them!!! This street is adjacent to Bangkok's largest Chatuchak market.

Go straight until the first turn to the right. Then straight ahead until the first turn to the left. And in front of you is the skytrain station Mo Chit.

Everything is simple. And do not listen to any exhortations of taxi drivers that it is far and you will not reach. I've arrived. I'll tell you a secret, I just have the most acute form of topographic cretinism, I climbed Chiang Mai with a navigator. But language, as they say, is not only an enemy, but also your best friend. =)

Well, then -Just. Hand Mo Chit station you take the subway (BTS). Transfer to another branch at Phaya Thai station. From there, the metro goes to the airport (this is the red line on the map). All.

Good luck with your transitions and trips!
